Low Temperature Polymorphic Transformations of Calcined Alumina

Description: The factors which affect the transformation of amorphous alumina to crystalline alumina in the temperature range 350 to 650/sup 0/C were studied. Amorphous alumina, with small amounts of added impurities, was heated in an atmosphere containing the oxides of nitrogen, air, and water vapor, and the amount of crystalline alumina was determined. Alpha alumina was the predominant crystalline form after heating amorphous alumina that was prepared in a fluid bed calciner. The effects of temperature, c… more

Comprehensive Technical Report, General Electric Direct-Air-Cycle Aircraft Nuclear Propulsion Program, Program Summary and References

Description: This is one of twenty-one volumes sumarizing the Aircraft Nuclear Propulsion Program of the General Electric Company. This volume discusses the background to the General Electric program, and summarizes the various direct-air-cycle nuclear test assemblies and power plants that were developed. Because of the requirements of high performance, low weight, and small size, vast improvements in existing technology were required to meet the flight objectives. The technological progress achieved during… more

Relocation of radial enrichment at the K reactors to decrease enrichment inventory

Description: The enrichment inventory required in the Hanford reactors is greatly dependent on the location of the radial enrichment ring. Present and past philosophy has dictated that the radial enrichment be located as close to the periphery of the reactors as possible, consistent with total control criteria, to obtain maximum flattening efficiency. As long as individual tube power limits dictate total pile power this philosophy of maximum flattening is consistent with a goal of maximum production. For th… more

Production test IP-508-D irradiation of a porous stainless steel clad fuel element assembly

Description: A large number of irradiation tests have been conducted with UO{sub 2} fuel elements to characterize the behavior of Zircaloy cladding when cooling water is allowed to penetrate the cladding to the fuel core. The test element, is designed so that cooling water will be in contact with the surface of the UO{sub 2} fuel core during irradiation. The irradiation behavior of the UO{sub 2} will be compared to the behavior of similarly irradiated, non-defected UO{sub 2} fuel-elements. Several character… more

Instrumentation studies, Status report 2 (High level rate-of-rise)

Description: The purpose of this document is to present the latest results of a continuing instrumentation study being conducted by Research and Engineering. In a previous report results of 1-and 6-node calculations, for percentage- and fixed temperature-trip instrumentation were presented. These results were used to obtain a general understanding of the problem and to assess the value of using a multinodal approach. Calculations to determine the amount of protection provided by linear rate and period instr… more

A Review of Hanford Power Level Limits

Description: As for any nuclear reactor, the operation of the Hanford reactors is governed by many technical and administrative considerations. With the completion of current project action, later this year, certain of the technical limitations on reactor power level will be relieved, notably at the K Reactors, At that time, the technical and engineering limitations will be more liberal at some reactors than required for operation at the administrative power level limits, imposed by the Atomic Energy Commis… more

Preliminary hazards review: Overboring Hanford reactors (condensed version)

Description: This is a condensed version of an extended hazards safety review of a proposal to modify the six 8 3/8-inch lattice reactors on the Hanford site. The review was intended to satisfy the specifications for a Preliminary Hazards Review as adopted at the third meeting of the General Electric Technological Hazards Council at New York City on June 15-16, 1961. This supplement is a tabular condensation of the information in the general document. One departure is made from the specifications for such a… more

Design of production test IP-468-A-FP, program for evaluation of alpha extruded fuel cores

Description: The alpha phase extrusion of dingot bars to rods for core blank heat treatment at MCW offers a three-fold incentive, including: (1) establishment of an independent alternate source of uranium cores, (2) a slight cost improvement of MCW extrusion over FMPC rolling of dingot and (3) potential improvement in core quality and performance. The purpose of this test is two-fold: (1) to evaluate gross dimensional stability and (2) to evaluate the gross irradiation performance of alpha phase extruded di… more

Phase Transformations in Calcination of Nitrates of Aluminum, Stainless Steel, and Nichrome

Description: Earlier studies showed that low concentrations of boric acid inhibit the formation of alpha alumina in the fluidized calcination of aluminum nitrate wastes. Studies designed to determine the optimum concentration of boric acid and the relative effectiveness of phosphoric acid were performed by heating synthetic mixtures at moderate pressure; results indicared that they were equally effective at the same molal concentration. Differential thermal analysis of mixtures showed that the boric acid re… more

A METALLOGRAPHIC STUDY OF GAS BEHAVIOR IN URANIUM IRRADIATED WITH ALPHA PARTICLES

Description: The behavior of helium in uranium and in several uranium alloys was studied metallographically after room temperature irradiation with alpha particles in a cyclotron, followed by various heat treatments. The observed gas bubbles were classified in two classes, differing in size, concentration, and mechanism of formation. These bubbles appear to resemble those resulting from fission product gases in neutron-irradiated uranium; the findings of this study seem to be applicable to the understanding… more

HAPO IB Fission Product Shipping Cask Design Evaluation Report

Description: As a result of the interest in fission products for use as heat sources and/or radiation sources, in early 1960. Hanford was authorized to supply a semi-refined cerium-144 rare earth product to Oak Ridge National Laboratories. Facilities were installed for collecting this product and a cask war designed for shipping this product as a stabilized, dry powder. Since that time, numerous improvements have been made in the design of the HAPO I cask as described in Revision O of this document. In add… more

Response of Protective Vaults to Blast Loading

Description: A reinforced-concrete steel-plate-lined vault and steel vault door were exposed to a nuclear detonation (shot Priscilla, about 37 kt, balloon suspended, at 700 ft) at the predicted 75-psi peak incident pressure level (1150 ft from Ground Zero). The vault was designed by the ultimate-strength theory to utilize the additional strain energy available in the elastoplastic and plastic ranges. Flexural and thrust capacities were determined, and shear capacity was computed. It was established that abo… more

Some Observations Regarding Rare-Earth Lactates

Description: From abstract: "Lactates of all the rare earths except lanthanum, cerium, and praseodymium were prepared and studied. In the case of lanthanum, cerium, and praseodymium the lactates are apparently so soluble that they cannot be crystallized directly from aqueous solution. Products obtained by addition of anhydrous ethanol to sirupy solutions of the light-rare-earth lactates were not well characterized and were deliquescent. Neodymium lactate trihydrate was prepared only by the addition of alcoh… more
